After Staging Event for Kamala Harris, Primanti Brothers a PA Based Restuarant Chain, Blocks JD Vance from Entering
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | September 28, 2024 | Sundance

Posted on 09/28/2024 8:14:54 PM PDT by mbrfl

The Primanti Brothers restaurant chain is apparently owned and operated by hardcore left-wing activists.

About a month ago, it was reported in the Daily Mail the restaurant chain kicked out all of the regular dining patrons so they could stage actors as a campaign event for Kamals Harris in the Pittsburgh area.

The Harris campaign bussed in the press pool and a group of campaign supporters, essentially actors, to stage a photo shoot meet and greet and manufacture the appearance of support for Kamals Harris.

The August event was presented as “ordinary diners,” but was in fact a group of Harris campaign workers. Essentially this was typical astroturf sold as organic or authentic campaigning; it wasn’t. Everything around Kamala Harris is fake, manufactured and astroturf performance.

Staff at the restaurant told patrons they would have to leave at 4:00pm due to a ‘private event’ which turned out to be a campaign stop for Kamala Harris.

♦ In a remarkable contrast, today the same restaurant chain blocked republican VP nominee JD Vance from entering the building and campaigning.

A video taken by a diner within Primanti Brothers was posted on Twitter and quickly went viral. Apparently, most of the people inside the establishment immediately cancelled their orders as soon as they realized what was happening,

The barred JD Vance was undeterred and remained outside the building to thank people as they left. The video shows JD Vance telling those who were outraged that he paid for cancelled meals, left a tip and reminded the operator of the restaurant of the “no tax on tips” pledge from the campaign.

They didn't want to get railroaded like when Kamala Harris came in and kicked out all the patrons to replace them with fake customers.

JD Vance was very nice and supported them; they realized no stunts would be pulled and let Vance in later.

According to a video by a lawyer that attended the event, the Primanti Bros. response was false. Vance was never allowed in the business, but he went in anyway to pay the bill for the people that attended. It was not all hunky dory as the company tried to portray.

This is the kind of stuff that turns undecided voters away from a candidate BIG TIME! I hope this gets out far and wide to those who don’t know what a fraud they’re trying to sell to them.

More of the story…

“ Later, Primanti Brothers would allow Vance and his supporters to meet inside the restaurant and issued a statement in an attempt to avoid a conservative boycott.

“Our doors are open to all patrons who wish to dine with us,” the statement reads.

“Without any advance notice, today’s campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff. However, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property.”

This statement came after videos of angry Vance supporters made their way around the internet. “

Simply go to a welcoming place and campaign there. The left wing place will go out of business if ignored

Full Disclosure: I have 'Burgh roots ... and although I haven't lived in SW PA for decades, for the vast majority of my years, I remain a "yinzer" at heart.
I continue to embrace all things Pittsburgh ... its sports teams, its Three Rivers, its many bridges, its beauty, its quirky cuisine, etc.
OK, so just in this past week I saw a social media question asking, "What is most over-rated thing about Pittsburgh?"
The most common reply seemed to be Primanti Brothers.
I was thinking at the time that such Primanti bashing was akin to sacrilege ... it was like dissing Pittsburgh's iconic contribution to the culinary arts.
Now, in the light of this Primanti political revelation, my vision has been clarified, and I can agree that Primanti is indeed over-rated.
The best part is that I will never again feel obligated to choke down another one of those hideous garbage sandwiches.

ROTFLOL!

“I’d rather suck a portable toilet from a paper straw....”

A thoroughly deserved trashing and thrasing!

That’s going to hurt. Half their customer base just left.

They look like they took whatever meat is available and thin sliced it, then we dumpster diving at the salad bar next door for used vegetables and slammed it all together on some rather unappealing bread. Oh yeah...when you don’t know what else to do, cram some under-cooked fries on it.

“I hope God is watching her”
The Bible says He knows all, before it even takes place, and will deal with each person.
She has proven thru her career and life so far (like Obama Hillary and so many others) no remorse, just all self Importance, self focus, self serving. Seems totally out of line with what God’s word says.

The problem for them is that it’s the initial response that’s the most critical.

Them changing their mind later is going to be perceived as nothing more than damage control, as usual. Which it was.

Question for anyone? Were there Vance supporters in the restaurant waiting for Vance’s arrival? And if there were… how did they know and not the staff?
